He noticed the quick pull back of her hand and jumped on his comm badge.
"Mr. Sloan, until repairs are made up here, keep only emergency lighting on up here. There are a lot of bare wires around here."
"Yes, Sir," came the response.
He then approached her. Examining her hand he checked to see that she wasn't hurt. With a gentle smile, he released her hand and looked about the room they were in as the emergency power stayed on while the main went off line.
"It would appear this was a communications center of sorts," he spoke in thought. He looked a little harder, "Looks like it was part of the medical and research area. Deep Space Engineering is well known for it. As to what they were researching way out here is beyond me."
He looked again at some of the damage. He had made some field repairs in the past on his ship and had learned a thing or two from his engineers. In the mess he found a small tool kit. He handed Thing a flash light and motioned her over.
"Point that where I'm working. I want to try something."
He studied the wires, where they came from, where they went and if they were grounds. He tied wires together that matched and tied off those that didn't. He called to his engineer to restore power to the room he was in. Some life breathed into some of the items in the room but not all. While he had made a simple repair, much work needed to be done. The power was again shut down and a request made to have one of the engineers to come up to work in the area.
